Chapter 18 Abyssal Plain Contourites

2008
Publisher Summary Abyssal plain contourites are of great significance for palaeoceanographic reconstructions. Ocean basins in general and abyssal plains in particular contain extensive sheeted depositional systems characterized by many thin-bedded-distal turbidites, rare but very large-scale megaturbidites, and interbedded-hemipelagic and pelagic ...

Chapter 10 Traction Structures in Contourites

2008
Publisher Summary This chapter reviews the traction structures in contourites that are formed in deep marine systems under the influence of oceanic bottom currents. Some general and theoretical constraints on the range of likely processes forming primary sedimentary structures in contourites are established.

Chapter 19 Continental Slope Contourites

2008
Publisher Summary Contourite systems are common on many slopes and show both depositional and erosional features. This chapter summarizes key case studies in different slope settings and discusses general and specific characteristics of different types of slope contourites.
